Show HN: A CV build system for developers based on HTML Jinja templates

ahmetsait — Sat, 26 Apr 2025 17:28:59 +0000

Hi there hackers!

I've been creating my CVs using a very simple and limited template system I've scripted a few years back. Fast forward to a few weeks ago, I've decided it's time to update my CV but of course I got completely distracted on improving my tool and the result is me working on a document generator for 3-4 weeks instead of actually applying for jobs :P

Browsers already have built-in mechanism to prevent flicker while switching pages, unless your page has issues such as flash of unstyled content or something similar.

I like these a lot! It seems like git-extras is pure bash allowing it to work out of the box without any dependencies but I would probably go mad if I had to implement¹ reading/writing git index² in bash.

Hi! Author here. Some of these can indeed be an alias, others.. not so much. `git-root` for example is more-or-less a one-liner, meanwhile `git-mode-restore` is a ~840 loc python script. I do use git aliases but trying to do anything non-trivial in them seems rather counter-productive so I'm confused about everyone suggesting it :P

New comment by ahmetsait in "Microfeatures I love in blogs and personal websites"

ahmetsait — Mon, 24 Jun 2024 13:33:05 +0000

I don't think it looks that bad. My blog's anchors are hover-visible on desktop and always visible on mobile (with lower opacity). I used this query to check for hover event availability to decide whether they should be always-visible: `@media screen and (hover: none)`. I think it turned out pretty ok¹.

ahmetsait — Thu, 28 Sep 2023 15:59:04 +0000

I recently tried to get remote desktop working on my KDE laptop with xrdp. Spent days trying to get it working properly with all the fixes and workarounds I've found online and yet it didn't even come close to how smooth it all works in Windows. In the end, I accepted defeat, depressed about the state of linux desktop even more.

Thanks! I'm really happy to hear that since we tried to make drawing as user friendly as possible and spent some extra time on touch screen support. I had this vision in my mind where the discrete math lecturer would show a QR code (links to my website) on the screen and students would be able to fiddle with graphs and see all those things they learn interactively right there on their phone which.. could make the class more distracting or more engaging depending on how you look, but I liked the idea.

I think graph theory is undoubtedly one of the most important subjects for anyone working in the field of computer software. Speaking of which, back in university I made a website [1] that allows you to interactively draw graphs and animate a few algorithms on them, as my design project. Doesn't have a lot going for it feature-wise (no directed edges, no weights, just a few algorithms) but it was a fun project to work on. [2]

New comment by ahmetsait in "Make a Resume in LaTeX"

ahmetsait — Tue, 24 Jan 2023 18:34:11 +0000

I've been using Word for my resume up until a week ago but rewrote it in html+css because having to keep translated versions of the same document in sync started to become annoying. Now I have a simple pipeline where it builds the document from a text template with content filled from a given yaml file (e.g. `en.yml`, `fr.yml`). The result is self-contained html files in different languages based on the same outline & style. Feels a bit overengineered but turned out to be pretty neat. Oh, also I can see changes instantly in browser and save as pdf before the LaTeX engine is done compiling ;)
